Also, to all onlookers: I'd like to reiterate that this thread doesn't necessarily limit the subject matter to just girls. Guys can be moe, too. (OK, so that's an extreme example, but guys can indeed have traits that turn you on.)

Moe Lesson of the day: Moe èŒãˆ's antonym in Japan is Nae èŽãˆ. nae pretty much means "to lose strength" or "to become flaccid", yes, use your dirty imagination. You can scream Nae like you scream Moe whenever you see something that's totally not moe.

And on the note of moe males, the current one for me is Miyanokouji Mizuho of Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru. <3

Her expression all the time is quite cute, though my favorite is when her hair's blowing in the wind on board the boat at the beginning of the game. Sometimes she looks a little more or less childlike (she is supposed to be only 14, after all) but she looks better when she looks on the older end of her age group IMO. Though I can't imagine what she would look like if she were supposed to be about 17. It would either be even more moe~ or it would completely ruin her. Hopefully they wouldn't be compelled to make her too punk-ish. That could be pretty awesome, though, if they did a longer sequel with Ashley again.

P.S. the use of the two screens in that game is really very good, especially during the cutscenes. It has that comic-book feel of being split into panels, but it also works really well as simultaneous views in multiple angles.
